Brown University students yesterday finished a 14-story Tetris game, the largest of its kind. The game was driven by a Linux system that controlled more than 10,000 lights on one side of the Science Library, which acted as the game's screen.

You _must_ look at this web page, it is a classic example of student ingenuity (makes my days as a student practical joker look even paler than they actually were!!) As far as I can tell they really did wire the whole building!
